I am still getting IPSOS surveys, about 3 a week. To start off with, it was really quiet, now they seem to have picked up. But I have still not had any phone surveys or products to test, which is a bummer!I joined YOUGOV but unsubscribed after a month, I got one survey, it took a fair bit to do and all I got was 50p.ONEPOLL is a bit annoying, but sometimes you get a survey that credits you 30p, which is not bad at all. I am just upto £21.00 on there, all in a month and a half.

Has anyone found that the amout spam they get in their email inbox increases enormously after they sign up with some survey companys? mine has?

I haven't had any surveys from Youvgov yet so will see how that works out. Onepoll seem to pay very small amount for the surveys, if that doesn't improve will stop that one. Joined ACOP yesterday but haven't had any surveys from them yet, they pay well so am hoping to get plenty from them.

Normally get loads from Lightspeed but not had any over the xmas period. Does anyone know what one of their points is worth? I applied for Pinecone but not yet heard if I have been successful yet.

Lightspeed points values vary depending on how you choose to spend them but as a guide you usually earn 110 points per survey and 550 points gets you a £5 gift voucher or 575 points for £5 into your paypal account so that's about £1 for a survey.

Log into your account and you'll see a menu option "lightspeed points account". Click on that and you can enter the shop to see the cost of each option.

Forgot to say I've had about half a dozen survey requests from Lightspeed in the last couple of days so it seems that they're back to normal again after the Christmas period.

I got an email from Lightspeed saying they were reducing the point value of their surveys slightly. Those of you that do Lightspeed surveys look out for further new on this on their website.

Lets hope they don't go down the same road as Ciao lots of effort for minimum payment. Would be a pity as Lightspeed are one of the best for sending out surveys and paying.

Hi

It's just a number, 7 or 8 digits from memory. It appears at the bottom of every survey invite, assuming you can wait until you receive one?
